I used the great base of the VSTC Greedo - though I've always been a little disappointed in the effort put forth on the eyes of the figures - -- they just don't look very lively.

So anyway, I took some very small rhinestones from a local Michael's craft store, then hollowed out the eye sockets, along with some added space for the rhinestones, and carefully cut the circles to a smaller dimension to fit them in. I added a small bit of aluminum tape backing, but the head works just as it did before - only with the look of the reflective eyes that the Rodians have in the movies.

Straxus - Good call. It did come from figure - though I think it was from an earlier release (as I bought it a good while back, but it's still the same figure, just popped the cannister right off the backpack). It worked well, I added some white paint on his gear (I also used the ammo pouches on this figure), and it definately makes a good look to have some "snow" stuck around on it. I need to try to get some better pics of the figure.

I'm off and on working on a new helmet for the concept trooper, but want to use a ROTS Neimoidian Warrior for the body. I don't suppose anyone has one they'd sell for cheap?

On of my KMarts still has on on the shelf - $7 if you are interested

You can always count on Kmart, huh? I was thinking something a little cheaper, I wish the KMart closest to me still had some of the Clone Wars figures. I bought a couple for cheap a while back - then they disappeared.

Straxus - I did put a cannister on the back, I think it was from a 21st Century Soldier, I think. I can try to take some new pics.

T65 - the parts for this one were a real mish-mash. The torso and upper arms are from AT-AT pilot with Veers chest piece, lower arms ROTS Bail Organa, legs are from ROTS Plo Koon - sans boots, then added dollar tree boots, knees (I also cut the feet off a Gi Joe to give him the "stacked" stilt shoes). The head was built around a #41 clone head, using parts from Veers, Cpt. Typho, and CC Pilot helmets.

BrentS - I defintely want to get a new camera, but I'm trying to taske some better pics with the one I have until I get can afford it. In case you missed it - I also posted a Sakiyan Jedi on pg. 7- -- I made the other day about the same time as the Tusken Raider.

I'm off and on working on a new helmet for an new version of the concept trooper, but want to use a ROTS Neimoidian Warrior for the body. I don't suppose anyone has one they'd sell for cheap?

I wish I had taken a work-in-progress pic of the parts I used. The dollar tree figure, was all black, with a glow-in-the-dark skull for a head. I'll look for a picture at some point, but essentially a Skeletor looking guy. I like that he had armour, and I used a gold leaf paint, then weathered it, bit I think it reflects the look of the female tuskens from the first saga line.

As for muppets, I'm always looking for figures and potential parts at my local goodwill. It was from a colonial-looking kermit - I'm sure from one of the movies. But I can get alot of stuff at goodwill for pretty cheap. For instance, a POTF complete, loose Slave 1 the other day for $0.25. Not too shabby.

Well, as Straxus mentioned, the brown and green really do compliment and contrast each other, so I would say go with a brown like you've used, or maybe even is you have a gold or brassy color - similar to the color of the belt and straps, that mike look nice.

I think he turned out pretty well, considering it was based on a cheap dollar tree or Big Lots skull-guy figure. I wanted him to be a head honcho of some of the Tusken Raiders. He had been captured and banished by Gardulla the Hutt, however with time, eventually broke away from his chains to come back and torment the illegal shipping of the Hutts through the Tatooine wastelands.

GGPiKE, excellent work. I really like the Null Arc as well as the Urban Shocktrooper. While the Arc is really great, I like the paint scheme, I'm really impressed with your work on the Shocktrooper, with the minimalist changes and paint.

It definately looks like something that could have been a concept art for the movies (which oftentimes, I think, looks better than what was actually used).
